It may seem strange that a boy ten years
not impossible, and actually occurred not
long ago, according to the Chicago Herald.
ooh, yes, I have all kinds of tenants"
said a gentleman who manages his W
estate in Chicago, ..but the one that | like
the best is a child not more than ten years
old. A few years e | bought a piece of
land. l noticed that there was an old o
of a house on it. After a while a man
cane to me to know if / wonld rent it to
him.
"sWhat do you want it for?' said /.
".To live in, he replied.
"tWell, / said, you can have it. Pay
me what yeu think it is worth to yon.'
1.-THE first month he brought me 50: and
the second month, a little boy who said he
was the mans son, came with 50. After
that | saw the man once in a while; but in
the course o: time the boy paid the rent
regularly sometimes 81 and sometimes So.
One dayI asked the boy what had become
of his father.
Hes dead sir, was the reply.
" is that SOP said /. How long since9
"sMore'n a year, he answered.
Il took his money; but | made up my
mind that | would go over and investigate.
and the next day | drove over there. The
old shed looked decent. | knocked at the
door, and a little girl let me in. l asked
- r. CT III
have any.
"sWhere is she?' said l.
"'We don't know, sir. She went away
after my father died, and we've never seen
her since.
"Just then a little girl about three years
old came in, and | learned that these three
children had been keeping house together
for a year and a half, the boy supporting
his two little sisters by backing boots and
selling newspapers, and the elder girl man
aging house and taking care of baby. Well,
| Just had my daughter to call on them,
and we keep al eye on them now. /
thought | wouldn't disturb them while
they were getting along. The next time
the boy came with the rent, | talked with
him a little, and then | said:
my boy, you're a herol You keep on
as you've begun, and you will never be
sorry. Keep your little sisters together,
and never leave them. Now, look at this.
81 showed him a ledger in which | had
entered up all the money he had paid me
for rent, and told him that that was all his
with interest. You keep right on, says /,
and I'll be your banker; and when this
amounts to a little more I'll see that You
get a house somewhere Of your own.
That's the kind of a tenant to have"
And that's the kind of landlord to have.

SuCII A MOuLDY SUMMER.

A New Britain physieian-whose testi-
mony conforms to that Of Hartford doctors
says that he has never known such a pro-
tracted continuance of great heat and
moisture. He finds it bad for the health
of his patients, and to avoid sickness in his
own family he has taken up all his carpets
and sprinkled an antiseptic agent all over
the floors. The carpets were getting very
mouldy-as, indeed, everything does in
such weather; one canno leave a pair OF
boots twenty-four hours in a closet without
finding al incipient fungus growth all
over them. The New Britain doctor says
If the dampness continues a few days long,
er he shall start up his winter furnace fire,
to dry the house. New Haven records
show the month of July, 1887, to have been
the most fatal month for babies even
known there. 1t has been largely so here.
